Do you remember those generic 2D platformers you'd see on the Apple app store that were only made because people wanted a Mario game on their iPhone? You know, stuff like Lep's World or Ultra Dario. Well, imagine taking those games, slapping Sonic over the main character, putting it on a Game Gear, and calling it a day.

The level designs are extremely short with nothing interesting, and occasionally have irritating mechanics. The graphics and music have not aged well in the slightest. It's all just been eviscerated by the passage of time, but even that's not much of an excuse, as there were way more fun 2D handheld platformers years before this one. (For example, Super Mario Land 2 or Wario Land)

But the most damning thing is that other than the character designs which were ripped from other games, there's nothing distinctly "Sonic" about it. Other bad Sonic games have had genuinely good elements, but this game has NOTHING. There is absolutely no reason to ever play it. There's nothing in the levels that take advantage of Sonic's traditionally fast speed and the music and level themes are all extremely forgettable. And all the things I just mentioned were done way better even in the FIRST Sonic game. A truly worthless experience.
